HBT: Valentine not impressed with Yanks' moves

I don?t know if Bobby Valentine will be as good a manager for the Red Sox as Terry Francona was. But I do get the sense that he?ll be more fun to have around. Because of fun stuff like this, when asked by Andrew Marchand of ESPN New York to comment on the Yankees? trade for Michael Pineda and the signing of Hiroki Kuroda:

?They?re probably an upgrade from Colon?and Garcia.?Probably. I don?t know. It seems it ??Pineda, when I saw him the first half, he looked unhittable. Second half, he looked OK.? [The Mariners] saw a lot of him and they traded him.?Kuroda is a good pitcher ? a year older than he was last year, pitching in the American League and not the National League, pitching in not a great pitcher?s ballpark from a great pitcher?s ballpark.?

All true statements. But all offered with the intention of being something of a pain to Yankees fans, I think. Or at least want to think.
